<p>Hey guys! I was just accepted to Cornell, Penn, and Northwestern and I need a little bit of help making my final decision. </p>
<p>Now before anyone attacks me for making this thread, I just want to say that social life is clearly not the only factor that I'm considering. I've already looked into the academics and specific programs at each school, and I think that from that standpoint, they would all work very well for me. That being said, the social setting is an important component for me, and it's not something where I can just go to the school's website to get information.</p>
<p>I really like the "work hard, play hard" philosophy. Clearly these schools have the "work hard" component taken care of, but I just want to make sure I go somewhere where people actually like to go out and take a break from time to time.</p>
<p>Regarding Cornell, I know that Greek life is pretty big there, but I'm not really sure that I want to go Greek. I've heard that there are a lot of open parties freshman fall but that's pretty much it. It seems that if you aren't in a frat after that, you're pretty much done.</p>
<p>Northwestern seems to have a more fun-loving culture surrounding it, and it doesn't seem like Greek life is as necessary there, but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>I'm not really sure about Penn, but I'd imagine that it's more like Cornell in that respect? </p>
<p>Any help at all that you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)</p>
